NUTRITION FOR RUNNERS

Most runners will experience one or more of the following challenges at some point in their running career:

  • bonking, or ”hitting the wall”

  • unpredictable runs

  • muscle cramping

  • muscle + connective tissue strains and tears

  • bone fractures

  • nausea/vomiting mid-run

  • runner’s diarrhea

  • abdominal pain & cramping

  • delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)

  • prolonged recovery time

  • a DNF (did not finish) race result

Most of these runners’ lows are caused by dehydration or poor fueling practices and can absolutely be prevented.
